Gerald - Key Quote (Act 3)

‘What about this ring?’ Here's an analysis of this key quote from Act 3:

Learns nothing

Learns nothing

  • Even though Sheila changes dramatically in the play, and breaks her engagement to Gerald because she feels that she does not know him, Gerald proves that he has not changed at all by the end.
  • He offers Sheila the engagement ring back, suggesting that he wants to forget about everything that happened (the affair) and go on with their lives as normal.
  • He expects Sheila to agree and pretend that the whole ordeal (unpleasant experience) with Inspector Goole has not happened.
  • This also proves that he has not learnt anything from the story.
